Industry Reviews
Cheminais takes on board the latest 2014 DfE Statutory Guidance and the practical implications of the 2014 Care Act, creating an easy-to-use reference manual, with a handy glossary and a table that serves as an aide memoire to the constantly evolving and proliferating family of educational acronyms. The book is further supported by a wealth of online time-saving resources downloadable from the SAGE website. [...] The handbook is probably an essential purchase for SENCOs and programme managers of Supported Learning sections in FE but both parents and educational psychologists/specialist teachers operating in a freelance capacity would find it an invaluable guide to the altered SEND landscape in 2015. -- Katy Parnell, Postgraduate Education Tutor, Dyslexia Action and Additional Learning Support (Neurodiversity) Tutor at Richmond upon Thames College Rita Cheminais' Handbook for SENCOs is thoroughly professional, well designed and easy to read. It covers everything from an explanation of the Senco's role as a manager and school leader instigating change to a clarification of their accountabilities and other people's expectations of them. -- Cate Wood Rita Cheminais is well-known as a keynote speaker on special educational needs provision and this revised and updated version of her original text is considered to be the 'bible' on leading and coordinating SEN provision. Cheminais has a reputation for being able to take complex issues and to break them down into manageable size chunks both for new SENCOs and those with greater experience... The book is particularly helpful in the context of an overview of existing and new legislation relating to special educational needs and disability terminology. Cheminais also covers important issues such as cyber-bullying and SEND pupils and working in partnership to promote a family centered approach. Excellent. -- Mary Mountstephen
